What incubation times do you use for PDT?

We have had good success with the zero incubation time + 2 back-to-back illumination cycles method described by Gandy et al. This method involves no pain and an overall shorter visit time compared to standard incubation protocols.

Briefly, this method includes the following steps:

• Prep treatment area...

I use no incubation time for PDT which results in virtually no discomfort during the Blu-U. We then often double the treatment time with the Blu-U.

We incubate for an hour under occlusion. We do sometimes use topical numbing to reduce pain.
